ADARB1 adenosine deaminase RNA specific B1

Gene ID: 104, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RED1; ADAR2; DRABA2; DRADA2; NEDHYMS

Summary

This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for pre-mRNA editing of the glutamate receptor subunit B by site-specific deamination of adenosines. Studies in rat found that this enzyme acted on its own pre-mRNA molecules to convert an AA dinucleotide to an AI dinucleotide which resulted in a new splice site. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants, some of which have been characterized by the presence or absence of an ALU cassette insert and a short or long C-terminal region.
